STACK Cybersecurity Achieves SOC 2 Type 2 Certification
Aug. 15, 2024
STACK Cybersecurity, a leading provider of advanced cybersecurity solutions, proudly announces the successful completion of its System and Organization Controls (SOC) 2 Type 2 examination. This certification, conducted by an independent third-party auditing firm, validates the effectiveness of STACK Cybersecurity’s infrastructure and operational controls.
SOC 2 specifies the criteria by which organizations should manage customer data and spells out five trust service principles or Trust Service Criteria (TSC): security, privacy, confidentiality, processing integrity, and availability. Through these criteria, SOC 2 reports attest to the trustworthiness of services offered by an enterprise and result from an official audit procedure. This significant milestone underscores our unwavering commitment to data security, operational excellence, and client trust.
What is SOC 2 Type 2 Certification?
SOC 2 Type 2 certification is a rigorous standard developed by the American Institute of CPAs (AICPA). It evaluates an organization’s controls related to security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy over an extended period. Achieving this certification means that our systems and processes have been thoroughly audited and meet the highest standards for protecting client data.
“Achieving this certification underscores our commitment to safeguarding our clients’ data with the highest industry standards,” said Founder and CEO, Rich Miller. “This certification is a testament to our rigorous security measures and dedication to protecting customer information. SOC2 Type 2 isn't just a fancy badge. It's a commitment to our clients that their data is safe.
“SOC 2 certification is crucial for cybersecurity firms as it demonstrates our protocols and processes have been thoroughly audited and meet stringent criteria for security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy. Clients can trust their data is handled with the utmost care and our systems are designed to protect against unauthorized access and data breaches.”
STACK Cybersecurity operates in SOC 2-certified data centers, ensuring both our platform and internal policies adhere to best practices for data security. We will continue to undergo annual reviews to maintain our SOC 2 compliance.
